A computer radio enables you to set up many combinations of control surface effects. Some combinations will allow a different response from the control surfaces by flipping a switch. Not all computer radios can do all of the following mixes and there are many other mixes not covered here. Mixing refers to combining 2 servos to act together to get the effect you want. Example: Aileron/rudder mixing
for coordinated turns.
(aileron servo mixed with the rudder servo) Example When you pull elevator up the
elevator goes up and the flaps go down causing a change in
pitch AND an increase in lift in the wing. This is done at
high speeds, or in planes that have
very powerful motors. When you enable the ailevator
mix, the this is a mix that actually
moves surfaces during a roll to create a highly coordinated
and highly repeatable type of aerobatic maneuver. Ailerons
and rudder will be controlled. Elevator is likely to be
programmed in as well. A mix where the ailerons and
flaps move together to change the shape of the wing while in
flight by moving them slightly up or down, typically from a
switch or dial. This is a braking mix used to quickly slow the plane down Both ailerons go up while the flaps go down. Often there is some elevator mixed in to keep the plane level |
